D ICT  ION  A  R  Y     OF     Bo  O  K  S 

IteUitttig  \$  ^Smmca, 

The  foiJoinring  {nges  aw|i^  lbr«h  w*  Specimen  of  "A  Dic- 
tionary of  Books  l*i«tin|  to  Amtrica,  fi-oni  its  Discovery  to  the 
present  Time,'*  and.  a*e  intended  to  txlnbit  the  thorough  manner 
in  which  the  #ork  is  performed.    Up  to  this  d«^  February,  j  876, 
forty  Parts  b|ve  beeh  publiijhed,  and  duHng.  th«  prwcm  year  not 
less  than  six  more  Parts  will  be  issued,  indeed,  the  work  is  going 
slowly,  but  surely,  along  >  and  it  is  hoped  that  it  can  be  com- 
pleted in  a  few  mo-e  years,  for  very  much  of  the  work  in  the 
sequent  letters  of  the  alphabet  is  already  done,  and  needs  only  to 
be  put  into  the  printer's  hands.     It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  say 
dttt  the  labor  is  immense;  the  proofs  aye  all  read  not  ^ess  than 
five  times  and  >y  three  and  sometimes  four  different  persons ;  all 
the  books  of  imporunce  are  very  carefully  descrthed*  and  it  is 
believed  that  no  bibliographical  work  of  equal  extent,  has  ever 
attempted  so  minute  a  description  of  so  many  books,  for  at  this 
time  the  number  of  titles  described  amount  to  32000,  which 
number  does  not  include  the  various  editions  of  the  works  nor 
the  titles  of  books  of  secondary  interest  which  are  printed  in 
small  type,  which  additions  would  more  than  double  the  number. 
From  its  nature  it  cannot,  of  course,  aim  at  a  large  circulation- 
it  is  intended  for  the  Historian,  the  Collector,  syid  the  Librarian, 
beyond  whose  sphere  it  is  not  expected  to  circulate,  and  it  is  for 
their  information,  as  to  the  stai^  of  the  work,  that  these  p.  ses^ 

are  distributed. 

The  author  has  receivedjnany  commendations  of  the  work, 
whieh  might  perhaps  have  been  printed— he  contents  himself 
with  a  quotation  from  a  letter  written  by  Mr.  Frederick  Muller, 
of  Amsterdam,  himself  an  eminent  bibliographer,  who  says  "I 
am  proud  to  be  a  bookseller,  seeing  a  bookseller-has  made  such  a 
book."  ,

There  are  copies  of  this  edition  dated  Paris,  mdclxxxiv.  This  is  the  first  edition 
of  the  Travels  of  this  famous  friar,  giving  his  voyage  up  the  Mississippi  from  the  Illi- 
nois river.  He  first  described  the  Falls  of  Niagara,  and,  according  to  some  authorities, 
named  Louisiana  after  the  then  King  of  France,  Louis  xiv.  But  this  fact  is  disputed 
by  Harrisse  and  others ;  it  is,  however,  the  first  printed  account  of  Louisiana.

An  exact  reproduction  of  the  edition  of  1683,  but  some  slight  verbal  changes  and 
typographical  errors  prove  that  it  is  a  reprint.  Both  editions  have  a  monogram  AA 
above  imprint.

engraved  view  of  Niagara  Falls.  ba.,  h.,  j.c.b.,  m.  31349 

This  is  the  first  edition  of  the  second  part,  it  includes  the  substance  of  his  first  book, 
but  gives,  before  the  account  of  his  voyage  up  the  Mississippi,  an  account  of  a  voyage  he 
here  claims  to  have  made  down  to  the  mouth  and  up  again.  It  is  identical,  in  fact,  with 
Membre's  in  Leclercq,  which  Hennepin  says  was  taken  frohi  his  account.  The  charges 
against  Hennepin's  veracity  are  based  on  this  interpolation  chiefly.  The  preface  con- 
tains a  narration  of  his  embroglio  with  Mr.  La  Salic.  See  Tromel,  No.  422.  The 
following  is  the  same  work  with  a  new  title-page  only.

This  forms  a  third  series  of  Hennepin's  Travels.  It  is  not  a  personal  narrative,  as 
he  was  but  once  in  America.  It  gives  an  account  of  La  Salle's  unfortunate  journey, 
and  describes  at  greater  length  the  manners,  customs,  and  superstitions  of  the  Indian 
tribes.

The  engraved  title  reads,  "  Nouveaux  Voyages  du  R  P  Louis  Hennepin  et  dc  Sieur 
Dela  Borde."  This  is  a  reprint  of  Hennepin's  second  publication  entitled  :  "Nouvelle 
decouverte  d'un  tres  grand  pays  situe  dans  rAmerique  &t."  (UtrecAt,  1697,)  together 
with  the  voyage  made  by  Sieur  De  la  Borde  to  the  Antilles,  giving  an  account  of  the 
Caraibes,  not  elsewhere  published,  p.  517  (oar  No.  604),  which  was  printed  by  Van 
der  Aa.  Brunet  refers  to  this  edition  as  a  reprint  of  his  "  Nouveau  Voyage,"  printed 
at  UtrecAt  in  1698  j  and,  at  the  same  time,  gives  as  his  principal  article  on  Hennepin 
this  very  edition  containing  La  Borde  with  a  different  title,  as  if  it  were  a  different 
work  and  the  first  of  the  series.  Some  copies  have  the  imprint,  A  Leide  :  Chez  Pierre

This  Italian  translation  is  by  Casimiro  Freschot ;  it  is  a  little  remarkable  that  the  first 
translation  should  have  been  into  Italian.  It  docs  not  appear  ever  to  have  been  re- 
printed.

This  Spanish  version,  which  is  of  course  an  abridgment,  concludes  our  long  list  of 
the  various  editions  of  the  work  of  this  famed  traveller,  who  was  "  the  undoubted  dis- 
coverer and  explorer  of  the  Upper  Mississippi,  and  the  first  to  lay  open  to  the  world  that 
mighty  region."  That  he  should  have  made  some  mistakes  is  not  to  be  wondered  at, 
and  that  when  he  first  saw  the  Falls  of  Niagara  he  should  have  overstated  the  "  won- 
derful downfall  of  above  600  feet,"  is  not  very  surprising ;  but  his  mistakes  have  not 
entitled  him  to  receive  thecastigations  which  have  been  heaped  upon  him.  Bancroft, 
Vol.  in.,  202,  remarks :  "  Had  he  loved  truth,  he  would  have  gained  a  noble  reputa- 
tion, who  now  is  remembered,  not  merely  as  a  light-hearted  and  during  discoverer,  but 
also  as  a  boastful  liar.  The  Journal  of  a  voyage  down  the  Mississippi  in  this  book  is  a 
lie  by  the  author."  Charlevoix  was  the  first  to  attack  the  author,  not  so  much  with 
reference  to  the  truth  of  his  statements  as  to  his  manners.  He  remarks  that  Hennepin 
"  vents  his  chagrin  not  only  on  the  Sieur  de  la  Sale,  but  on  France  also,  by  which  he 
deemed  himself  ill  used,  and  he  tries  to  save  his  credit  by  declaring  himself  a  born  sub- 
ject of  the  Catholic  King.  But  he  should  have  remembered  that  it  was  at  the  expense 
of  France  that  he  travelled  in  America,  and  that  it  was  in  the  name  of  the  most  Chris- 
tian King  that  he  and  the  Sieur  Dacan  took  possession  of  the  countries  which  they  had 
discovered.  He  does  not  even  hesitate  to  aver  that  it  was  with  the  consent  of  the 
Catholic  King,  his  first  sovereign,  that  he  dedicated  his  book  to  William  in..  King  of 
England,  and  that  he  solicited  that  monarch  to  effect  the  conquest  of  those  vast  tracts, 
send  colonies  there,  and  have  the  gospel  preached  to  the  heathen.  This  step,  which 
scandalized  the  Catholics,  and  made  even  Protestants  laugh,  surprised  to  see  a  rtHgieux, 
calling  himself  Missionary  and  Apostolic  Prothonotary,  exhort  a  Protestant  Prince  to 
found  a  church  in  the^  New  World.  All  these  works  are  written  in  a  declamatory 
style,  offensive  by  its  inflation,  and  revolting  by  the  liberties  which  the  author  takes, 
and  by  his  indecent  invectives.  As  to  substance.  Father  Hennepin  believed  himself 
entitled  to  take  a  traveller's  license;  he  is  accordingly  much  decried  in  Canada,  his 
fellow-travellers  often  protesting  that  he  was  anything  but  truthful  in  his  accounts." — 
New  France,  Vol.  i.  On  which  we  remark  that  it  must  be  recollected  that  Charlevoix 
(whose  remarks  are  ungrammatical)  was  a  Jesuit,  and  that  Hennepin  belonged  to  an 
order  who   were  opposed   to  them,  that   he  should   have  solicited  the   assistance   of

William  iii.  is  simply  a  proof  that  he  was  no  bigot.  Mr.  Field  very  properly  observes 
that  "criticism  [on  Hennepin]  proceeds  from  sources  which  entitle  him  to  the  benefit 
at  least  of  a  doubt  of  its  impartiality,"  and  adds,  "  The  author  lost  the  support  of  his 
own  brethren  of  the  order  of  Recollects  by  neglecting  or  refusing  to  return  to  his 
duties  in  America  as  a  missionary."  "This  Reverend  Father  was  the  most  impudent 
of  liars,  and  the  narrative  is  a  rare  monument  of  brazen  mendacity.  Hennepin,  how- 
ever, had  seen  much  and  dared  much  :  for  among  his  many  failings  fear  had  no  part; 
and  where  his  vanity  or  his  spite  was  not  involved  he  often  told  the  truth.  ...  These 
fabrications  occur,  not  in  the  early  editions,  which  are  comparatively  truthful,  but  in 
the  edition  of  1697,  and  those  which  followed.  La  Salle  was  dead  at  the  time  of  their 
publication."  —  Parkman's  Disco-very  of  the  Great  fVest,  p.  124.  The  question  of 
Hennepin's  veracity,  as  to  his  claim  of  descending  the  Mississippi,  was  first  raised  by 
Sparks'  "Life  of  La  .Salle,"  "  Amer.  Biog.,"  11.  i,  followed  by  Shea,  Parkman,  etc. 
A  portion  of  Hennepin's  first  work  is  given  in  Shea's  "  Discovery  of  the  Mississippi," 
and  his  "New  Discovery"  is  included  in  the  "Amer.  Ant.  Soc.  Trans.,"  Vol.  i.  Hee

This  work  should  go  with  the  General  History,  and  is  usually  bound  at  the  end  of 
the  second  volume  after  the  fourth  Decade.  In  the  composition  of  this  work  the 
author  had  access  to  the  most  secret  of  the  archives  of  Spain.  It  embraces  the  history 
from  the  discovery  of  America  to  1555.  The  engraved  title  contains  a  miniature  of 
the  author,  and  representations  of  Mexican  Deities.  It  was  published  in  Latin,  with 
additions  from  Le  Maire  and  Cevallos,  under  the  following  title  :

II  leaves.  The  first  part  has  the  14  maps  copied  from  the  Madrid  edition  of  1601  of 
the  "  Indias  Occidentales,"  and  Le  Maire  is  illustrated  with  the  three  maps  taken  from 
De  Dry,  together  with  4  plates  in  the  text.  Stevens  observes  "  In  the  Preface  to  Bar- 
cia's  reprint  of  Herrera,  Madrid^  1716-30,  the  editor  repudiates  this  edition,  as  being 
full  of  typographical  errors,  and  encumbered  with  matters  not  pertaining  to  Herrera." 
On  which  {2'^'"'''^'^^  remarks:  "It  is  erroneously  stated  in  the 'American  Nuggets' 
that  Barcia,  in  the  preface  to  his  edition  of  Herrera,  repudiates  the  edition  by  Colin  as 
full  of  errors.  The  fact  is,  that  Barcia  makes  nowhere  any  remark  prejudicial  to  the 
above  publication  of  1622,  which  certainly  contains  a  faithful  translation  of  the  '  De- 
scripcion'  of  Herrera,  and  an  equally  faithful  reproduction  of  the  fourteen  genuine  maps. 
He  alludes  only  to  the  Antwerp  edition  of  1728."  But  Mr.  J2ua'''tch's  note  is  appended 
to  the  French  version,  described  infra,  yet  the  criticism  is  probably  correct.  It  is  reprinted 
in  part,  in  Vol.  xii.  of  De  Bry's  "Grands  Voyages."  See  Camus'  "  Memoirc,"  147-

the  conquest  of  the  Indians  by  the  invading  Spaniards,  or  a  pprtrait  of  some  eminent 
Conquistador;  seventy-two  battle-scenes,  views  of  human  sacrifices,  or  Indian  life,  and 
thirty-nine  portraits  are  thus  exhibited.  In  some  sets  the  "  Descripcion  de  las  Indias  _

preceding  the  "  Tabla"  in  Vol.  iv.,  and  in  the  Large  Paper  copies  it  is  usual  to  bind 
this  "Descripcion"  and  •' Tabla"  together  as  a  fifth  volume,  indeed,  some  small  paper 
copies  are  thus  divided.  There  are  copies  of  i-his  edition  dated  1727,  1728,  1729,  and 
1730,  which  are  all  alike  except  as  to  the  date — the  work  not  having  been  com- 
pleted till  that  year — the  publishers  cfianging  the  dates  as  circumstances  suggested.  It 
is  merely  a  reprint  of  the  original  edition  of  1601-1615,  with  the  addition  of  a  very 
copious  index,  compiled  under  the  direction  of  Gonzales  Barcia,  but  without  a  continu- 
ation, as  erroneously  stated  by  Meusel,  and  it  is  deservedly  regarded  as  the  hen  edition.

has  new  title-pages  only.  A  portion  of  Herrera  is  included  in  Kerr's  "  Voyages," 
Vol.  III.     The  following  does  not  relate  specially  to  America  :

"  Histoire  estimee." — Brunet.  "A  work  written  under  the  influence  of  contem- 
porary passions,  and  published  before  any  of  those  passions  had  been  much  tranquilized." 

TlCKNOR,  III.    142. 

A  grand  chorus  of  writers,  from  Nicholas  Antonio  down  to  Thomas  W.  Field,  unite 
in  their  testimony  as  to  the  fidelity  of  this  Prince  of  Historians.  He  was  successively 
employed  as  historiographer  by  Philip  ii.,  iii.,  and  iv.,  and  having  access  to  every  avail- 
able source  of  information,  made  free  use  of  many  original  documents  which  had  never 
before  been  printed,  and  which  no  longer  exist  in  MS.  His  works  embrace  a  large 
part  of  the  MS.  "Chronicle"  of  B.  de  las  Casas,  and  almost  the  entire  MS.  "Relacion" 
of  Palacio  is  incorporated  with  his  fourth  decade.  A  French  bibliographer,  quoted 
without  name  by  Tromel,  observes :   "  Parmi  les  historiens  de  I'Amerique,  D.  Antonio

de  Herrera  tient  incontestablcment  le  premier  rang.  II  naquit  en  1559,  ^*  *^"'  quelque 
temps  secretaire  de  Vespjsien  de  Gonzague,  vice-roi  de  Naples,  et  fut  ensuite  nommee 
par  Philippe  11.  historiographe  des  Indcs.  Son  ouvrage  est  ce  que  nous  possedons  de 
plus  complet  sur  I'epoque  qu'il  embrasse."  The  Spanish  bibliographer  Salva  says :  "Cet 
ouvrage  est  un  des  plus  importants  qu'on  ait  publiea  sur  Ics  decouvertes  des  Espagnols 
dans  le  Nouveau-Monde."  Munoz,  at  the  aid  page  of  the  prologue  to  his  "  History 
of  the  New  World,"  remarks  :  "  Herrera  eclipsed  all  other  historians  on  the  same  sub- 
ject which  had  till  then  been  published,  in  fullness  of  matter,  truth  of  narration, 
chronological  arrangement,  geographical  accuracy,  and  beauty  of  style."  J.  Bcldon  de 
Guevara  writes  :  "  No  one  of  all  those  who  have  writ  on  this  subject  has  performed  it 
with  so  much  exactness  as  Ant.  de  Herrera."  The  Italian,  Davila,  observes  "This 
history  is  very  useful  for  all  sorts  of  people,  because  the  author's  method  i.s  very  good, 
being  at  the  same  time  bri2f  and  intelligible,  joining  profound  knowledge  and  undoubted 
truth,  and  undeceiving  us  as  to  many  errors  into  which  other  authors  have  led  us." 
The  Scotch  historian  Robertson  remarks :  "  Of  all  the  Spanish  writers  Herrera  fur- 
nishes the  fullest  and  most  accurate  informations  concerning  the  conquest  of  Mexico, 
as  well  as  every  other  transaction  of  America ;  his  Decades  may  be  ranked  amongst  the 
most  judicious  and  useful  collections."  The  English  bibliographer  Dibdin  observes  : 
"  Antonio  de  Herrera  is  well  designated  by  Bishop  Kennett  as  the  chief  chronicler  of 
the  Indies  and  Castile;  he  stands  in  the  foremost  rank  of  early  American  Historians." 
Our  own  Washington  Irving,  in  his  "  Life  of  Columbus,"  concludes  a  judicious  criti- 
cism thus  :  "  Herrera  has  left  voluminous  proofs  of  industrious  research,  extensive 
Information,  and  great  literary  talent.  His  works  bear  the  mark  of  candour,  integrity, 
and  a  sincere  desire  to  record  the  truth."  Ticknor,  in  his  "  History  of  Spanish  Litera- 
ture" accords  him  equal  praise;  and  Thomas  W.  P'ield's  "Essay  on  Indian  Bibliog- 
raphy" concludes  our  series  of  eulogizers  with  tile  statement  that  "  His  work  is  a  perfect 
treasure-house  of  the  most  valuable  details,  regarding  the  original  state  of  the  religion 
and  manners  of  the  Indians."
